He's just a good 'ol boy from down south.

As News One Now managing editor and former liberal CNN contributor Roland Martin appeared as a guest on Sunday's The Point with Ari Melber on MSNBC, during a discussion of black suspects being shot and killed by police officers, the liberal commentator seemed unaware that more whites than blacks are killed by police as he declared that "it's going to have to take a series of white Americans shot and killed in a similar fashion for America to deal with this issue."
When fellow guest Professor Joe Giacalone of John Jay College informed him that, "if you look at the statistics, more people are shot by the police every year," it still didn't sink in as Martin retorted, "I said, 'Killed.'"
Giacalone then informed viewers: "And killed, yes. More white people are killed by the police in this country than black people are."
In fact, according to statistics compiled by the Washington Post, only about one in four criminal suspects killed by police are black.
The dominant news media just seldomly take the time to highlight the cases of whites or Hispanics being killed.
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Sunday, June 25, The Point with Ari Melber on MSNBC:

5 killed and 8 wounded in Chicago on Monday...
My guess is both victims and shooters were all black...
Another guess is no cops were involved...

LOL! Yeah, that too. I almost forgot about him.
You don't know that! You don't know that! Some of'em could have been beaners.
That’s what caused me to take a second look at this thread! I was just at his place in Clewiston, FL last week and didn’t see him. He must have been rehearsing for his PMSNBC gig! ;)
This is exactly who I thought of. That is a monster he’s holding by the way.
Oh? Then it must be this guy.
That is why it is a “guess”...Could’ve also been Martians...
Did the article consider the ratio of black to white in the population?
You beat me to it...
Still...Roland has a pretty good comedy show going. Not funny...but well worth laughing at.
This entire article:
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/440361/police-shootings-black-vs-white-narrative-vs-fact
is a well-reasoned discussion of the position the media is trying to sell versus the actual statistics behind it. The usual argument trotted out by the media is the percentage of the US population versus the black population and the resulting ratios. The article correctly points out that police do not interact with the total population but with that portion engaged in illegal acts. Black males are over-represented in that population, but that fact is ignored because it doesn't feed the media position.
Probably not, but if you do that you will have to consider the percentage of crimes by blacks also. The more crimes you commit the better the chance you end up on the wrong side of a cop’s bullet. So what’s your point?
Looks proportionally close. ;-)
Or of the fact that black violent crime is hugely disproportionate.
Proof that the "media" know what they're doing when they do NOT report some things. It helps their narrative....
Hmmm. Thought I saw 4 to 1 in there someplace.
Whatever you do, don’t ever attempt to waive down the police with a towel.
